Zucchini Muffins

I love to take an old family recipe and make it healthier! These muffins turned out much better than I remember from years ago. They are very moist and had a wonderful flavor. I used to add in chocolate chips but decided to try them without. I didn’t even miss the chocolate flavor although adding carob chips would be a healthier alternative.
